IMMUNOBIOLOGY

Th2 polarization by Der p 1-pulsed monocyte-derived dendritic cells is due to the allergic status of the donors

From Unité INSERM U416, IFR 17, Institut Pasteur de Lille, France; Department of Applied Genetics, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Gosselies, Belgium; Department of Microbiology, University of Western Australia, Nedlands, Perth, Australia; and Département de Pneumologie, Hôpital A. Calmette, CHRU de Lille, Lille Cedex, France.

The polarization of the immune response toward a Th2 or a Th1 profile can be mediated by dendritic cells (DCs) following antigen presentation and interaction with T cells. Costimulatory molecules such as CD80 and CD86 expressed by DCs, the polarizing cytokine environment during DC-T-cell interaction, and also the nature of the antigen are critical in the orientation of the immune response. In this study, the effect of the cysteine protease Der p 1, one of the major allergens of the house dust mite Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, on these different parameters was evaluated comparatively on monocyte-derived DCs obtained from healthy donors, from pollen-sensitive patients, or from patients sensitive to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. Results showed that Der p 1 induced an increase in CD86 expression only on DCs from house dust mite-sensitive patients. This was also associated with a higher capacity to induce T-cell proliferation, a rapid increase in the production of proinflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin (IL)-1beta , and the type 2 cytokine IL-10. No changes in the release of IL-12 p70 were induced by Der p 1. Finally, purified T cells from house dust mite-sensitive patients stimulated by autologous Der p 1-pulsed DCs preferentially produced IL-4 rather than interferon-gamma . These effects were abolished in the presence of the inactive precursor of Der p 1 (ProDer p 1). Taken together, these data suggest that DCs from house dust mite-sensitive patients, in contrast to DCs from healthy donors and from pollen-sensitive patients, exposed to Der p 1 play a pivotal role in the enhancement of the Th2 response associated with the allergic reaction developed in response to house dust mite exposure.
